In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Children’s Advocacy Project is inviting the community to plant pinwheels for prevention.
The event, which takes place at 4:00 on Monday, April 9, at the CAP’s 350 N Ash Street office, is an effort to raise awareness about child abuse.
A pinwheel garden at the Children’s Advocacy Project will contain a total of 303 pinwheels, each representing an abused child they helped in 2017.
Those who can’t attend are encouraged to plant a pinwheel at home or business “as a way of honoring those who helped you or your children experience a childhood without abuse and neglect,” according to a release from the Children’s Advocacy Project.
Snacks and drinks will be served.
Founded in 2002, the Children’s Advocacy Project works with a team of agencies to provide forensic and comprehensive services for alleged victims of child abuse in order to minimize trauma to children, to break the cycle of abuse, and to foster a more effective community response to child maltreatment throughout the state and surrounding areas.
